Win for Rebecca Slaughter as court rules commissioners may not be dismissed by a president without cause
A divided US appeals court on Tuesday allowed the US federal trade commissioner, Rebecca Slaughter, a Democrat, to resume her role at the agency, as Donald Trump tries to remove her from office.
In a 2-1 decision, the District of Columbia circuit court of appeals allowed a lower court decision in favor of Slaughter to take effect, rejecting the Trump administration’s request to delay the ruling during its appeal.
The court said that FTC commissioners may not be fired by a president without cause, saying that the law on this point had been clear for nearly a century.
They are one and the same. Disgusting traitor filth to be subjugated.
Right on!
Absolutely…
Errm… What?
Clearly the solution is to send conservatives to work in the mines.
It’s them or us. Choose. Fucking wake up.
So my only options are to be a fascist, or to… Subjugate them? Those are the two options huh?
Your choices are to accept reality or continue denying it. Open your fucking eyes.
So you think our only option is to enslave conservatives? I just want to make sure I understand… As I said, I was with you until the “subjugate them” part. Maybe we are using two different definitions of the word?
Fucking Christ, subjugate does not mean enslave.
So tell me what it means to you. Why do we need to “subjugate” half of the country? Tell me how this fixes our problems. Tell me how subjugating literally anyone fixes any of our problems?
Look it up in a dictionary ffs. It means to bring under control, to subdue, to take away power. News flash: that is what is currently happening to us. the only winning strategy is to fight back. Look up the prisoners dilemma.
I am done engaging with you.
Except they LOVE being Republicans, they think it’s honorable, so TAKE IT AWAY FROM THEM.
In the future Dems should only refer to the MAGA Party. They should hold a big press conference, and unilaterally declare the Republican Party dead, and rebrand it as the MAGA Party, and then STICK TO IT.
Make them go apeshit demanding respect, and their name back, and just casually dismiss it and keep calling it the MAGA Party.
The Right has been doing it to the Dems for years, pissing them off by calling them the Democrat Party. I once saw a Republican derail Schmuck Schumer just by calling it the Democrat party, and Schmuck threw a tantrum, instead of sticking to the debate, as the Republican sat back and smirked in self-satisfaction.
Now we have perfect opportunity to hit them back, but much much harder. Force them to defend one or the other, which will only piss off one or the other.
